EUR/JPY steadily climbs ahead of NFPs
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - EUR/JPY has steadily climbed from its overnight low of 138.94, to post a morning high at 139.73, before declining to where it is presently trading at 138.52, up 0.37% on the day.
EUR/JPY led higher by overnight Yen weakening
EUR/JPY climbed overnight following comments overnight from Takatoshi Ito, chairman of the advisory panel on reforming the government pension fund caused Yen to weaken during the Asian session. He stated that the GPIF should immediately start selling JGBs down to the current permitted lower limit of 52% of overall assets. This morning has seen comments from the ECB’s Nowotny and Coeure which supported EUR further. Ahead today, the obvious calendar event is NFP’s which analysts are expecting to register at 180k, down from the previous months 204k.
